Kovalchuk's ultimatum - don't think so!

[MM213]

TSN reports that Chesnokov reports that Kovalchuk's agent gave NHL an ultimatum - sign Ilya in 48 hours or else

What's wrong with this story? Well, to start with - Yuri Nikolaev is Kovalchuk's agent in Russia. He handles KHL. He was never a part of contract talks with NJ and NHL. Kovalchuk is represented in NHL by Jay Grossman.
Why would a guy who has nothing to do with Ilya's NHL contract negotiations all of a sudden start giving ultimatums to NHL?

I assume, Chesnokov (or PuckDaddy or whoever) doesn't know more than us about the situation. He is just trying to become relevant by exploiting Kovalchuk's saga to full extent: "Kovalchuk will get signed in next 24 hours", "New Kovalchuk deal rejected by NHL", freaking ultimatum.
What's next? "Kovalchuk will play on Mars this season?"

He'd be the number one forward on the Martian Molestors of the IHL. (Intergalactic Hockey League), yea I'm lacking sleep.

If Kovy truly wants a ring, he should sign on with the team from Saturn...
